About Me

I blog about rural living and social issues, and the creativity that comes from knitting, as well as post random pictures of the Sierras and my burros.

Toy Drive at The Connection in SF

The annual ECV Chapter 1849 toy drive hosted at The Connection, a bar in South San Francisco, was a rousing success, with over $800 raised to donate to Saint Anthony's Dining Room (http://www.stanthonysf.org/news/pressroom.html) and several barrels of new toys collected. Here are a few photos.

Besides being the Chapter 1849 Official Watering Hole in SF, the bar is a local hangout for lots of people who still live where they grew up in south San Francisco.
